If you live in cities like Delhi or Hyderabad, then there are chances that you could be affected by bad air pollution. A study in India led by Barcelona institute form Global Health an institution supported by ‘la Caixa’ has recently established the link that tells about the finding of the publication in Jama Network Open, which is a general medical journal from Jama Network.
A study conducted on 3,700 people living on 28 villages outside the city of Hyderabad has shown exposure to air pollution and poor bone health are strongly associated with each other.
Delhi is at a higher risk or anywhere in north India is just polluted with bad air that affects your health. From different cancer to respiratory diseases to skin-allergies, there are lots of consequences about breathing toxic air. Bone health is at a greater cause, and it apparently worsens bone, and the polluted air we breathe causes inflammation.
Osteoporosis is one such condition affected by pollution, in which bones become weaker and more likely to break. This condition takes place due to harmful air pollution. People living in a location like Delhi that has higher concentrations of small particulate matter in the air are more likely to be admitted to a hospital for bone-related diseases.
A model was used to demonstrate the study that was worked by the authors to estimate the outdoor exposure of air pollution of fine particulate matter and black carbon. The author linked the information with bone health assessed using a special type of radiography called a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry that measures the bone density, bone mass at the lumbar spine and the left hip.
The results of the conducted study of the exposure to air pollution showed the fine particles that lower the level of bone mass. Bones become weak, very susceptible and brittle to fractures. Back pain, a bent-over posture, also changes that affect the original spine posture.
Dr. Ram Chaddha is a top orthopedic and the best spine surgeon in India. He is experienced in complex spine instrumentation procedure including deformities and revision spine surgery. His study in spine functioning and deformities can be a point of view that can help the conclusion for the study. The increasing pollution in cities and the amount of bone damage is causing people to weaken the bone density, many people visit the doctor with the bone pain and he has examined people with different deformities caused by the increasing pollution.
Dr. Ram Chadda after referring the link https://www.healthshots.com/health-news/turns-out-exposure-to-air-pollution-can-also-be-damning-for-your-bone-health/ made his statements for the spreading pollution in Delhi and Hyderabad, he found the article worthy of discussion.
Dr. Ram Chaddha said, “ Inhalation of polluting particles can be dangerous, and it could lead to bone mass loss, the increasing air pollution causes the oxidative stress and inflammation.” He further continued, “the study has contributed to the inconclusive literature on air pollution and bone health. The different diseases lead to a deformity that hampers the person’s quality of bone. Globally air pollution is responsible for a substantial burden of the diseases and it is expected to increase due to aging of the pollution.”
The findings add to a growing body of evidence that indicates air pollution is relevant for bone health across a wide range of pollution levels, including the levels found in countries of high and low income. The study could help people to safer themselves with the harmful air that can harm not only the bones but it can even lead to other diseases.
What does the study really mean for Indians?
For us, these fine particles are considered to be the culprit for our bones. It becomes imperative to protect ourselves when PM ranges for 2.5 menaces. When air quality is severe, staying indoor, wearing an anti-pollution mask, and relying on air purifiers are our best bets. Dr. Ram Chaddha, the best spine surgeon in India, is suggesting the preventive measures for bone health. Air pollution may lessen or may increase in the future but taking care of yourself is a safer option than making hospital your second home for treatment.
